[PLANCHER, Urbain (dom)]: Histoire générale et particulière de Bourgogne, avec des notes, des dissertations et les preuves justificatives. Composée sur les auteurs, les titres originaux, les registres publics, les cartulaires des églises cathédrales et collégiales, des abbayes, des monastères et autres monuments anciens. Dijon, Antoine de Fay, 1739-1741-1748. 3 volumes. 24.5 by 39 cm. (42)-532-CCXXIII pagesand 2 maps, 15 plates including one double, 11 engraved bands; (44)-524-CCCXXX pages, and 24 engraved plates and 7 engraved bands; (20-596-CCCLXXII pages, and 7 engraved plates and 6 engraved bands. Contemporary full calf, 6-rib spine, ornate caissons, lace on edges. The binding has been recently restored, and has a number of defects. Nevertheless, it remains solid and presentable. The first 3 or 4 leaves of each volume are damaged in the center, with occasional loss of text. This appears to be the result of an early and disastrous chemical attempt to erase handwritten ownership from the title pages. Otherwise suitable inside. Our copy features 2 maps, 46 plates (including three double plates) and 24 headbands. One double plate has a tear at the fold without missing. The book's iconography is particularly valuable, as it shows many monuments that have now disappeared. Seals, tombs and other architectural elements are also reproduced. Volume III contains two magnificent portraits of Philippe Le Hardy and his son Jean, Duke of Burgundy. First edition of the most monumental work on the history of Burgundy. Dom Plancher wrote the first two volumes alone, and the third with the help of Dom Salazar. The fourth volume, absent from our copy, is not by him but by Dom Villevieille; it was published by Dom Merle in 1781, 33 years after volume 3.
